It’s taking Black women even longer to earn as much as white men as the wage gap has widened for the first time since the 1960s. We must address the racist, sexist policies that cause structural economic inequality in America so Black women are paid what they’ve earned. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

This nonsense is NOT what the Americans asked for and GOP leadership should be ashamed to bring these bills to the floor right before leaving DC for five weeks. Sadly, this is what we’ve come to expect from the most corrupt President in my lifetime and his enablers in Congress.

A fake stock trading ban on members of Congress ignoring widely reported insider trading by Trump, his family and his admin. Instead, it includes an unrelated provision narrowing the list of acceptable photo IDs to cast a ballot and gutting mail-in voting. watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/pre...

A defense bill greenlighting over $1.15 trillion in national security spending for a Department of Defense that never passed an audit. It also burdens taxpayers w/ a $125 million bill for the renaming of the Department — a waste of money for one man’s ego. watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/pre...

Black mothers experience postpartum depression nearly twice as much as white mothers, reflecting disparities driven by gaps in health care access. During Black Maternal Mental Health Week, we must raise awareness of the issues they face and policy solutions to address them.

Too many Americans still can’t access the treatment they need— especially in communities of color. That’s why I re-introduced the PrEP Assistance Program Act, which would provide grants for preventative care costs and take steps to end these disparities. watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/pre...

Thanks to GOP budgets, more than 8 million Americans lost health care coverage & another 4 million lost access to food assistance. Now, they want to loot your children's futures to fund brutally inhumane ICE operations that terrorize our communities. How much wasted taxpayer money will be enough?

GOP budgets already stripped you of health care, public health protections, and more in order to give tax cuts to billionaires and conduct violent deportation operations.

My heart breaks for trans kids and their families. Today’s SCOTUS decision comes just one year after they upheld a ban gender-affirming care and is just the most recent attack by conservatives against the queer community. A person’s gender should not bar their participation in activities they love.

Trump has sought to make America welcome only to those that look like or support him. Birthright citizenship has been settled law for 125 years. He can't change that with a simple executive order. Today’s SCOTUS ruling is clear: if you're born in the USA, you're a citizen. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸

Much like the delay slaves endured in Texas to get their freedom following the Emancipation Proclamation, many of the rights we have now didn’t come easily or fast enough. And over the last few years, we’ve seen an enormous backlash against many of them, including voting rights.

ICE is not the private army of any president or administration. They are federal law enforcement meant to work for and be accountable to the American people. Nothing should be happening inside an ICE facility that would require secrecy or concealment from the American people.

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.
